Who we can employ, and how

We have a responsibility to ensure that we only employ legal workers, so we have a specific recruitment protocol that we follow at all times. You should double-check that you're eligible to be employed by us before you start your application process.

Westpac Group's recruitment protocol

We can only employ you if you are:

An Australian citizen; or

A permanent resident; or

A non-citizen in Australia on a valid visa that allows you to work - this includes New Zealand citizens.

If you're a non-citizen on a valid visa with no work restrictions, we can offer a maximum term contract that falls within the validity period of your visa.

There are many different types of temporary visas, but only some will mean that we can hire you.
